Dear members,

In order to show respect towards someones wishes, regarding if they want to get surprised by the issue of the manga, that wasn't showed yet in the anime series, please place the proper "Spoiler" prefix on your thread, whenever you create one that contains any spoilers. If you do decide to post any spoiler at all, while creating the thread, in the drop-down box before the thread title, again, please make sure you selected "Spoiler" as the thread prefix.

We can see that all of these characters are present during the Ninja Academy Entrance Ceremony, they also are all carrying the Ninja Academy Entrance Papers. This would imply that they all applied and attended at the same time.

In these three scans you see Guy, Kakashi, and Obito. All have taken part in the Chuunin Exams. Now if we go by the info that was given to us, that mean Kakashi is 6 in these scans, Guy is 7, and Obito is 9. They are all graduates of the academy and have been referred by there Sensei's to take part in the exam.

Here we have Kakashi receiving the rank of Chuunin, at age 6. The last panel on this page show shuriken been thrown in the winter months, hence the snow.

The top two panel show the change and season as well, showing that time has passed. So since the Chuunin exam where Kakashi was promoted it has been 2 years. Chuunin Exam in the Spring/Fall-->Winter-->Spring/Fall--> Winter--> Chuunin Exam 2 years after Kakashi Promotion. Obito receives his promotion to Chuunin, age 11, making kakashi 8.

We then see Rin whispering something to Obito in the next panel. Obito in the next page is waiting for her when others approach and she hands him the sheet that announces Kakashi's promotion to Jounin, age 13. And you can see that Guy has also been promoted to a Chuunin. This would mean 5 years have passed since Obito was promoted, making him 16, for Kakashi to be 13.

If Kakashi was actually 13 when he received his promotion that would make Obito 16 years old without a doubt.
Now, didn't a rock fell on Obito when he was 13?

Kishimoto really did make a mistake I suppose assuming the information we all have is correct, which indeed is correct.

Note : Kakashi really looks pretty big for a 6 year old kid.

Hope this sounds interesting.

I think your ideas about the timeline are way off, because of a simple mistake. You assumed that the timeline becomes skewed because they all entered the ninja academy at the same time. Truth is we don't know their age at that time. What if they wer all 5 years old? Seems unlikely because of how Kishimoto drew them, but I think he had a tough time drawing accurate aging. Let's say they're all 5 when they start, then that just means kakashi graduated ahead of them, and the rest took longer to become genin. But at the time they became genin, I don't think that there is any prohibition against assigning them to teams with more experienced genin. Meaning kakashi having been a genin longer, still gets reassigned to obito's team. And like how Naruto got left behind as a genin, while all of his friends became chuunin, if not almost jounin. Some of those scenes from the Chuunin finals were times when Obito and Guy failed the exam.

Re: Tobi/Obito theories, predictions and discussions

Either Obito can time travel, or the guy who was controlling Yagura was someone else (meaning there are two Tobis). I can't think of any other way to explain who it was that controlled the Mizukage (it's pretty obvious it wasn't Madara).
